My Opinion About School Uniform By Shi Jianan

Dear friends:

Students in Taiwan should wear school uniform until entering the university . We should wear uniform
everyday no matter how the weather was.
In the summer time , we have PE class , but we still have to wear the uniform as well.
That was quiet inconvenient for all of us.
Because once we don't wear it , we might punish by our teachers.
Luckily it can save a lot of time for us choosing the clothes . We don't
have to worry about the clothes we wear everyday. And wearing the school
uniform is a part of memory .
Ihave learned that students in college , they will choose a day to wear their
high youth. So I decide to cherish my last semester to wear school uniform.

Taipei International Flora Exposition by Glen

Dear friends:

  Near the end of New year, Glen’s family and I went to visit Taipei International Flora Exposition. Before we went to the exhibition, we all decided to go to Pavilion of Dreams.

  Pavilion of Dreams is one of exhibition in Taipei International Flora Exposition. We spend a lot of time going to the location. The sky was beautiful and we all felt happy to go there. After we went there, we saw a lot of people also want to visit the exhibition. After we visited Pavilion of Dreams, the most interested me is the floor have twelve shining light circle. When stand into the circle, you can wave your hand to make the flower in screen bloom out in front of you.

  Do your country have similar exhibition?  Have you ever seen the facility which I introduced in the story?

My Opinion About School Uniform By Knight

Dear friend:

March 5, 2011

I wear the uniform of Kaohsiung industrial high school. I looked elegant in uniform. Do you agree that? But there are many rules about wearing uniform. You have to follow some uniform rules in Kaohsiung industrial high school. For example, if you wear the uniform, you have to tuck your uniform in, fasten the belt, and put on the leather shoes. There are a lot of opinions about uniform. Some agrees the uniform. Other disagree the uniform.

I am a supporter. Because the school is a team, we should show our honor. And if we don’t wear uniform to go to school, we have to be worry about what we should wear today. Are you a supporter or opponent? Why?

Do you like your uniform? Or what kind of uniform do you want?

Best regards

My Opinion About School Uniform By Jerry

Dear friend:

March 5. 2011

I looked that everybody is the western-style clothing uniform and the movement uniform puts on alternately every day, as if is for the physical education, because the movement uniform must put on time the movement coat, the movement trousers, the cloth shoes, the need may put on the movement coat. But uses in usually attends class with the western-style clothing uniform being probable to put on the shirt, the western-style clothing trousers, the leather belt, the leather shoes, when need may put on the western-style clothing coat. I feel the approval regarding these stipulations, because does not need to spend too many money on clothes, the accessories, but can also have neat and the basic esthetic sense. Your that side has clothes which must put on? Your school has the accessories which, clothes forbids to put on?

Best regards.

My opinion about uniforms By Mickey

Dear friends,

A lot of people wear uniforms such as doctors, soldiers, and police officers. And our school students must wear uniforms when we go to school. However, we have certain regulation about how to wear uniforms. When we put up uniform, we have to wear a belt and a pair of black leather, and tuck our uniform in the suit trousers. An issue that we whether or not should wear uniforms was arguing. However, I am a supporter. Because wearing uniform is a symbols. The rule is not only encourage us to behave well in public but also improve spirit and increase pride in our school.

Is your school should wear uniform? Do you like your school uniform?

I am expecting to see your school uniform. J

Dear friend:

I want to visit Taipei International Flora Exposition, because it is first time that Taipei International Flora Exposition is held in Taiwan. There are five mascots in Taipei international Flora Exposition. The five mascots are made of five flowers such as phalaenopsis, lily, hydrangea, tulip, and sunflower. They have each color such as red, orange, blue, green, and purple. And these colors stand for five continents. Every mascot stands for something. The red stands for love. The orange stands for happiness. The blue stands for blessing. The green stands for gratitude. The purple stands for satisfaction. Do you want to visit Taipei international Flora Exposition after you read it? Which one of the mascots do you like?

Best regards.

The kids were so welcoming and soon after the class started, everyone was enjoying themselves. Huri was relaxed:)
She taught the kids a song called " My Family." The children sang and danced. Suddenly I realized how I missed you!

Huri's First Teaching Day At Eren's School

Eren&His Birthday Cake

Hi guys,

How are you doing? I am great.So happy to be here in Turkiye. I have made so many friends. Eren, Huri's little son, is my best friend. Maybe some of you know him:) Eren is 9 years old and he is a real sport freak. He goes swimming, plays basketball and folk dances. We watch sports programs on TV together.


Her mother started teaching English at her school as a volunteer. Huri has taught high school students for 22 years and for the first time she is teaching elementary school students. She was so excited before the class. She took me with her. I tried to calm her down.

“Mevlid” means “the time of birth.”

Dear Friends,

I witnessed a very important event for Muslims during my stay in Turkiye . It is called “Kutlu Doğum Haftası.” They celebrate the birthday anniversary of Prophet Mohammad during the week. The majority of Turkish people are Muslims, so they celebrate the birthday of Prophet Muhammad. I did some research about the holy birth week. Prophet Mohammad is the prophet of the Muslim community. Prophet Muhammad's mission was to spread Islam. Holy birth week has been celebrated since 1989. “Mevlid” means “the time of birth.”

The Turkish nation considers the religious beliefs as a source of peace and tranquility. Some  great civilizations have been established in accordance with the values and principles Prophet Mohammad introduced.What do you know about Muslims’ traditions?

All the best,

Nicholas                                       (İlayda- Group 3)

The House Where Prophet Mohammad Was Born

Dear Friends;

   During my stay in Turkiye, I had the chance to search about an important event and I am happy to   share it with you.

   The observance of Mawlid can be found in 8th century Mecca, when the house in which Prophet Mohammad was born was transformed into a place of prayer by Al-Khayzuran (mother of Harun al-Rashid, the fifth and most famous Abbasid caliph). Abu al-Abbas al-Azafi (1162–1236) established the custom of celebrating Mawlid in Morocco. His son Abu'l-Qasim propagated it throughout the Maghreb.

  Sunni Muslims celebrate the birthday of the Prophet Mohammad 5 days earlier. Some Muslims do not approve of celebrating the birthday, and regard doing so as a religious innovation. Have you ever heard about this event before?

Yours,

Nicholas                               (Osman- Group 3)

When is the holy week celebrated?

Dear Friends,

I would like to tell you about a very significant event happening in Turkiye. I had the opportunity to observe that big event during my stay.

Islam's Prophet ,Mohammed bin Abdullah,  graced the world at Hijri Rabi 'of 12 night, and  for centuries Turkish nation  have been celebrating  that night as “ the Mawlid Fitr." Department of Religious Affairs and Religious Foundation of Turkey aimed to revive the tradition so many centuries ago  the mevlid  was celebrated as a science and cultural festival. Islam is based on the Koran and Prophet Mohammad’s sayings which value universal moral principals, human rights and scientific understanding. What do you know about Islamic beliefs?

All the best,

Nicholas                                 (Ayla- Group 3)

Holy Week

Dear Friends,

I am very happy to share a religious event taking place in Turkiye. It is “holy birth week.” I watched a program about this event during my stay in Turkiye. I was most interested in the calendar difference.

Hz. Mohammed’s birthday is celebrated as Mevlid Kandil by Muslims. According to Muslim Calendar, it befits to the day 11 Rebievvul. According to Gregorian Calendar, this date gets behind 11 days and every year one day comes back. This week that begins with Mevlid Kandil is celebrated as Prophet's birthday by Muslims. At this week Muslims pray and read the Quran for prophet. At this period the Prophet is remembered and Muslims talk about his works and they arrange activities for him. What do you think about the calendar difference?

Best wishes,

Taipei International Flora Exposition By Wendy Jhong

Dear friends,

February 26, 2011

     We are proud of the big event of 2010, Taipei International Flora Exposition held in Taiwan. We gained the permission of AIPH (International Association of Horticultural Producer) because Taiwan is known for flowers.

     There are four garden suburbs and fourteen venues in Taipei Flora Expo. The main purpose is to make the Taiwanese care about the environment. Therefore, there are many green buildings such as the exhibition hall built of one hundred and fifty two million plastic bottles. The green buildings are with good ventilation so we do not need air-conditioning indoors.

     The wonderful miniature landscape and spectacular wood carving make people feel like staying in future world. You will say “wow!” Of course, you must try the flower tea. There are experts to show how to brew the tea and how to drink the tea. To our surprise, we can watch images 3D without wearing special glasses. Most significantly, you will learn our history the way of flora.

     We thank AIPH for this opportunity and hope you can attend Taipei International Flora Exposition in Taiwan.

     Which garden suburb you would like to visit? In Taiwan, the national flower is Plum Blossom. Because we think it is a toughness of the plant. Could you tell us what the flower is your national flower?

Best,

2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition by Scott

Dear friend:

February 26, 2011

This winter vacation my family and I visited Xinsheng Park of 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition. There was at about eighty thousand people visited in Lunar New Year’s Day. What a sea of people! Because of the world famous Pavilion of Dream is so inviting. It has latest high-tech man-made flowers dancing with music. It’s really fantastic!  

We got up at 4:00am and took three hours to Taipei from Kaohsiung. Unfortunately, we missed the tickets of Pavilion of Dream because our car had some problems when we arrived in Taipei.

But, we watched the 3D Theater of Dream by Taiwan artist Jimmy. The film is full of imagination and the characters are quite cute!

The 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition will end in April 25^th and you still have chance to coming visit this wonderful event.

Do you have any responses to the Theater of Dream of the 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition as shown in this attached file?

Taipei International Flora Exposition By Cooky Li

Febuary 26,2011

Dear friends:

   Flora Exposition is a perfect place to visit with family and friends. My family and I visited there during this winter vacation. It was an unforgettable memory. There are lots of exhibitions and buildings. What interested me the most is the Pavilion of Dreams. It is said that if you didn’t go there once in your lifetime you’ll feel deeply regretful. Since you arrive there the commentator will introduce one of the famous mascots who is called Yabi to you. He is a seed fulfilled with dreams and you can buy him home in a souvenir store. All of the flowers in the pavilion are fake but glamorous. The most surprising things is that you can receive a one and only flower card which belongs to you. Eventually, there is something you really need to look out. If you truly want to visit the Pavilion of Dreams. You ‘d better get up early to line up.

Do you have any other responses to the Pavilion of Dreams of the 2010 Taipei International Flora Exposition as shown in this attached file?
